11.Rainforest is home to around twothirds of all plant and animal species found on land-in addition to millions of people who depend on them for survival-our remaining ancient forests are some of the most diverse ecosystems known to science.They are also very important to the health of our planet,especially when it comes to regulating(調(diào)節(jié))the climate.But ancient forests around the world are under attack.
Protecting rainforests is on the global agenda(議事日程)in a big way.Governments now recognize the importance of protecting tropical forests in order to avoid dangerous climate change,and there is now much debate(爭論).As governments try to thrash out the details of a new international agreement,expected to be signed at the end of 2009,they are discussing how best to include measures to save rainforests,and therefore address one of the major causes of climate change.Worldwide,forest destruction causes more greenhouse gas emissions(排放) each year than do all the trains,planes and cars on the planet.So if we are to deal with global warming,there is an urgent need to find ways to reduce the 20% of global greenhouse gas emissions caused by forest destruction each year,and to keep the remaining forests standing.
We need to protect the planet's remaining forests not only to stop climate change from getting worse,but to ensure that we can stand the effects of global warming.Healthy forests take in and store quantities of carbon,helping to regulate temperature and generate rain.When they are destroyed,this carbon is let out into the atmosphere.Thus keeping forests standing is both an important part of regulating climate change and of adapting(適應(yīng)) to a warmer world.
To date,most of the talk has focused on how to pay for reducing deforestation(濫伐森林),rather than on how to actually go about doing it.We believe governments need to support local people to protect their environment,as we have been showing for 20years can be a very effective way of saving rainforests.

分析 本文是一篇新聞報道類閱讀,主要講的是雨林對于氣候的影響,目前雨林受到濫伐以及如何拯救雨林.
解答 54-56 ADC
54題答案:A考查主旨大意,本文主要講的是雨林與氣候改變之間的關(guān)系,故本題答案為A選項.
55題答案:D考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)后面的…they are discussing how best to include measures to save rainforests.(他們正在討論如何才能最好地涵蓋措施來拯救雨林)可知trash out一詞意為"全面討論",故本題答案為D選項.
56題答案:C考查細節(jié)推理,根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段的Healthy forests take in and store quantities of carbon,helping to regulate temperature and generate rain.健康的森林吸收并且儲存大量的二氧化碳,這有助于調(diào)節(jié)氣溫和造雨.可知本題答案為C選項.
點評 本文是一篇新聞報道類閱讀,題目涉及多道細節(jié)理解題,做題時結(jié)合原文和題目有針對 性找出相關(guān)語句進行仔細分析,結(jié)合選項選出正確答案.推理判斷也是要在抓住關(guān)鍵句子的基礎(chǔ)上合理的分析才能得出正確的答案.
